Choice is always good. Coercion is always bad.
No it isn't. In this sector, choice is BAD, coercion is good.

The choice you have is to use another network. The whole point of privacy would be lost if it was optional. That's the huge advantage DRK has over anything else.

What's the point of using the Darkcoin network to keep your finances private if every bit of income you receive is transparent to all and sundry ?

If somebody **chooses** to use the DRK network because they wanted totally financial privacy, then that choice can only be done justice to by hiding their income as well as their expenditure.
Your suggestion is tantamount to forcing people to be smart... I don't have to explain my stance on that. ;-)

Exactly. That's like government declaring war on drugs, or breaching into our privacy for our own good.
"We have to declare those plants illegal and put everyone in prison, because smoking it might cause health problems, so we'd rather cause you healthproblems DIRECTLY by putting you in prison and ruin you financially."  Grin  /sarc

I really don't need anyone to force me to do something, even if he thinks that it is the best for everybody.

Face it, when you are being forced to do something, you can rest assured that you will recieve a crappy service in return.

Coercion should never be necessary. This is a mindtrick to make you comply with things you would NEVER AGREE WITH voluntarily (like paying Taxes).

Just let people use Darkcoin the way they see fit.

OFCOURSE most people will use the dark send feature. I would. Probably... not with all my wallets though...
What if I want to start a donation address and I like to show the amount of recieved donations to everybody?
